Hi Mike,

I could name a range to both C and c in XL2003! Do you get any message?

Regards,
Stefi

Stefi,

Using
Insert|Name|Define in XL2003 I get a popup error if I use C or c.

'The name is not Valid'

I Googled it but got nothing.

If my memory serves me right, C and R can't be used by they are used as
designations for column and row respectively. (Other letters are accepted.)
You can use R or C if preceded, or followed, by an underscore.
 
S

It's strange! The only way I could get this error message was using 2c (not
starting with an alpha character) or c2 (same as a cell reference) type names!

David is right, C and R stands for column and row respectively. The reason
why my Excel accepted these letters is that I use a national language version
in which O and S are the equivalents of C and R. Using O or S I got the error
message!
And also Mike is right when he misses documentation of this constraint!
